Dad, I miss you so very much. I miss your tender words and loving face. I know you didn't want us to cry for you. But it's hard not to cry when you lose the most terrific Dad, Role Model and Friend. We were so very lucky to have you.
I hope that you and Mom have danced - please give her a kiss for me.
I will carry you both with me always. Love forever.

Dad, no one could ever have asked for a better father. And there is no better man. No on can ever compare to you. We were all so lucky to have you. I still can't believe you are gone. We are all going to miss you so, so much. But I know you are with Mom and that's what you wanted. It just hurts so much to not have you here anymore. But you will forever be in my heart.
Love you Dad
Linda

May all your wonderful memories keep him alive in all your hearts.
God Bless:

I met Larry at the chocolate shop. He was always getting gifts for his kids and their families. Larry was a hard working, kind hearted, family man who enjoyed people. He was always quick with a smile and kind word. He reminded me of my dad. I will always remember Larry fondly.

As a child, I enjoyed Sully as I worked for Uncle Jim Dacey. He would keep the laughter, smiles and banter going until it was time to quit.
Thanks Sully for all the smiles that you brought with you.
